FUELL has launched the Fluid-2 and Fluid-3 electric bikes with the top model having a range of about 362km. The new e-bikes are powered by Valeo Cyclee mid-drive motors and offer a 7-speed automatic gearbox. The models feature predictive shifting of gears and are offered initially in limited quantities.
The FUELL Fluid-2 and Fluid-2 were designed by a team led by Erik Buell and assembled in the US. They provide a unique riding experience for users and are trailblazers in the industry. Buell describes the new e-bikes as true and viable alternatives to cars. The Fluid-3 has a riding range of 177km while the Fluid-3 doubles that range at 362km (225 miles) but with two batteries. The Fluid-3 e-bike has a single 1,000 W, 51.8V battery, and both models have several similarities.
The Fluid-2 and Fluid-3 feature strong aluminum frames and can accommodate riders with heights up to 1.95 meters. Both models also feature Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and the Gates Carbon drive belt that is maintenance-free. The e-bikes have a companion app that can receive warnings for unusual movements of the bike. The app can also help the user to locate the bike, remotely lock/unlock the e-bike, and access ride data and usage statistics.
The top speed of the models is 25km/h for the Fluid-2/Fluid-3 and 45km/h for the 2S/ 3S models. The S-versions of the e-bikes feature the maximum speed available for the bikes and may require registration, insurance, and a crash helmet in certain jurisdictions.
The Fluid-2/3 models come in dark red, dark blue, and silver color variants. The price of the Fluid-2/2S is $3,999 and the Fluid-3/3S costs $3,699. The prices are expected to change after the sale of the first 50 units of the models. Availability is tied to the US and the EU for now and the first shipments will be in July.
